One strategy to combat technical debt? Digital decoupling. Organizations face intense pressure to keep themselves at the leading edge of IT capabilities. Sometimes, however, the need for fast technology solutions forces them to make short-term programming and systems-architecture decisions. In doing so, they accrue and compound an invisible technical debt — the price they will one day need to pay to make it right. As IT software and infrastructure age, and as more features are added to legacy systems, technical debt grows and puts additional fixed operating costs on the company, diverting precious investment in innovation and new capabilities. Over time, the challenge of connecting and updating these systems becomes overwhelming for IT teams, and undertaking strategic digital transformations as an organization becomes even more difficult. Companies seeking to expand their businesses across the globe may find themselves hindered by an untenable IT environment — a patchwork of hundreds of different systems that slow collaboration and make it difficult to scale innovation.

After all, your users see the UI first and they will continue to interact with it on a regular basis. Website users value the user interface so much, a typical visitor will form an opinion about your website within 50 milliseconds — and you can guarantee that level of expectation translates to apps, too. And yet it’s common to see websites and apps launch with glaring UI mistakes that drastically degrade the user experience. In this article, we will discuss five of the most common (and therefore most frustrating) Full story <https://www.cmswire.com/customer-experience/5-user-interface-mistakes-that-…> Related story <https://www.cmswire.com/customer-experience/13-must-have-user-experience-ux…>: 13 Must-Have User Experience (UX) Design Skills *What Comes After Smartphones? The Next Mobile Computing Platform Is Already Emerging* A look at the current state of virtual, augmented, and mixed reality — and why these technologies will be the building blocks for smartphone disruption. Smartphones are now hyper-personalized. With some 6 billion apps available on iPhones and Androids, smartphones serve as everything from email machines to AR-based Pokemon-catchers. But their small size isn’t well suited to the myriad tasks they now perform. And simply increasing screen size doesn’t really resolve this problem — especially as people increasingly look to their devices for immersive media experiences. Full post <https://www.cbinsights.com/research/mobile-computing-platform-future/> *Threats to Autonomy from Emerging ICTs* This paper examines threats to autonomy created by significant emerging ICTs. Emerging ICTs cover a wide range of technologies, from intelligent environments to neuroelectronics, and human autonomy is potentially threatened by all of them in some way. However, there is no single agreed definition of autonomy. This paper therefore considers the ways in which different accounts of autonomy are impacted by the different IC technologies. From this range of threats we will derive some properties which any ICT must exhibit in order to threaten human autonomy. Finally, we will show how the range of definitions of autonomy creates problems for customary approaches to vale-sensitive design, and how this indicates a need for greater flexibility when attempting to improve the ethical status of emerging ICTs.

SEMINAR-6 Topic: Library Services Platform: a centralized approach
by drtc＠isibang.ac.in 05 Sep '18

05 Sep '18

Indian Statistical Institute Documentation Research and Training Centre 8th mile, Mysore Road, RVCE post Bangalore 560059 SEMINAR-6 Topic: Library Services Platform: a centralized approach Abstract With the introduction of information and communication technologies, library services have evolved from the traditional methods of handling services to the automated processes. These days several integrated library systems are available for libraries to manage their products and services. Library-oriented applications have evolved through each of the generations of technology, from mainframes to client/server applications and more recently into those based on cloud computing and web-based technologies. The ongoing evolution of publishing and content creation continually makes an impact on the types of materials collected by libraries. Libraries have increasingly become more involved with print and digital materials, thus creating the need for new tools and technologies to acquire, manage, and provide access to them. This talk will provide a gist of an upcoming model for the library automation industry, called Library Services Platform (LSP), drawing attention from the libraries and library vendors. Speaker:- Gopalji Co-ordinator:- Dr. Bishwanath Dutta Date:- 07/09/2018 Time:- 2.00 P.M. Venue:- DRTC Classroom (G21), ISI, Bangalore All are cordially invited. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
